agree with you on this '56. They are putting together a very good resume.OUBeliever56A wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 7:07 amLouisiana is making a bid to for a regional seeding.TropicalSooner wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 8:26 pm The Rajun Cajuns just gave LSU more than they wanted beating them 9-4 in Lafayette, LA.

The LSU Tigers are interesting. Their offensive numbers are decent but they are leaving 48.3% of their runners on base. WOW! They have scored only 249 runs for 5.4 runs a game. They allow 2.94 runs a game which does not leave much room for mistakes.TropicalSooner wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 8:15 am The Cajuns won their game over the Tigers so convincingly last night, it had me wondering if they have improved that much from earlier in the season or if LSU has just really regressed. I think still Berzon is a very good pitcher, but she just doesn't seem to have the offense nor especially the defense behind her like she needs to have. Just me, though.
With Ava Brown pitching a shutout, Florida led 2-0 through 4 innings. In the top of the 5th, FSU got two straight singles off of Brown and committed an error for one run to score. Florida brought in Wooten to pitch. After an error by Florida, a SAC bunt and an intentional walk, Florida brought in Miller. FSU then went on to score 11 more runs in the inning that included 2 HRs by players that hit their first HR of the season. All the damage was done against the two weak links of the Florida pitching staffs.
On Wednesday, Louisiana defeated McNeese State 5-4. Imagine the contrast. The Rajin Cajuns beat LSU 9-4 on Tuesday and then McNeese just 5-4 on Wednesday.TropicalSooner wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 8:15 am The Cajuns won their game over the Tigers so convincingly last night, it had me wondering if they have improved that much from earlier in the season or if LSU has just really regressed.

I do not know why Rothrock was not used, but Florida does have a 3 game series with Georgia starting tomorrow (Fri), and I would expect she will get the start on both Friday and Sunday. Perhaps starting Wed night against Fla St, who's not in their conference anyway, might have been a bit too much. Just my thoughts.OUBeliever56A wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 5:35 amWith Ava Brown pitching a shutout, Florida led 2-0 through 4 innings.

I wish I knew why Rothrock was not used by Florida in the game.
Brown pitched well through 4 innings and had a little trouble to open the 5th. Not going to Rothrock at that point was what I questioned. I thought starting Brown made sense. Wooten has not been good all season. Miller has had her moments, but not many.TropicalSooner wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 8:31 amI do not know why Rothrock was not used, but Florida does have a 3 game series with Georgia starting tomorrow (Fri), and I would expect she will get the start on both Friday and Sunday.
